Last weekend I found this little guy. A stunning specimen on the first look - but he worried me on the second. What do you think about these grey spots on bright-orange?

And here is another eye problem. Some of you (at least Bobby, GertJan and Thomas ;) ) might recognize this one from one of my picture galleries as juvenile Lyciasalamandra helverseni from Karpathos.

What do you think about this one? Except the missing eye, snake looked healthy and in a good condition.

Research is ongoing on those grey spots. Not that rare, also in Alytes (see cisternasii in my dec 2010 report, and dickhilleni in 2006). Might be related to herpesvirus, from what I've been told, but really too soon to tell.

Mmmh, interesting in any case. I would love to check on his health again - at least he is wearing signal colours, so I might get a chance to find him again ;).

Yes, just stunning. I guess that´s why I won´t ever be a twitcher - it takes only a beautiful Common Frog to make my jaw drop ;).

seems to be an Uveite, inflammation of the cornea that has not been treated

Really? I though it was healed injury (maybe caused by some predator).


I was searching through my photos and found this one. Do you think these suckers can endanger the life of lizards. Hate them, don't know what happened, but grass is full of them this year.
